Cases (30-03-2020)
Relative risk maps generated with INLA.
There are no P values in Bayes. Importance or significance of variables can be deduced by examining the overlap of their 2.5% and 97.5% posterior estimates with zero.

At this moment, Cook (IL), Wayne (MI) and Decatur(IN) and Orange (NY) counties hold the higher risk for covid19, ranging between \(RR=2.2\) and \(RR9.85\).
Having an airport shown an increment of \(27%\) for covid19 risk.
